Network-initiated handover in integrated small cell and wifi networks

摘要: Applicants disclose an inter-system mobility anchor control point that is adapted to initiate handover of existing communication connection in integrated small cell and WiFi (ISW) network. The communicatively coupled both HeNB/LTE network trusted WLAN access (TWAN) operate as a common plane entity for TWAN access. may be, example, management (MME) or gateway (ISW GW). request receive measurement data relating the operations HeNB WLAN. Based upon data, determines whether path via one should be handed over other networks. Upon determining made, coordinates handover.
